x% off is not an advantage? :huh: Or do you mean, "no advantage over other customers"? What would be the point in comparing you to others? Is your gain less worth just because others can enjoy it as well?

Wasn't one goal of developing the JF-17 to have a comparable cheap aircraft? Well, somewhere they probably had to cut some corners then ... This way it is probably easier to update the avionics when new weapon systems or other capabilities are implemented. No need to rework the whole HOTAS concept every time, just add new features to the MFDs.

New helo flight model?? Could you provide a source, please? And what do you mean with glass cockpit!? BS3 is supposed to have new cockpit and textures (= free update to BS2) plus a few new weapon options (Igla, iirc) and implementation of some missing stuff (minor functions, afaik). How do you now bring up a glass cockpit?

What does "retail version" mean in this context? You make it sound like there is a "A-10C V2.0" coming ...

Mirage first = fair? Well, not according to Razbam ... No work continues on both aircraft. Remember it's different teams Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Funfact: latest addition to their bugtracker for the Harrier were a few bug reports on Oct. 26th. Latest Mirage bugs (about 10-20 times as many as for the Harrier) werer added at end of Nov. It is now mid december, no additions to the bug tracker this month so far. And it is not that there were no new bug reports posted here at the forums all the time. Yes, might just be that the bug tracker is not up-to-date - but who knows ... as nobody is talking to us.

I tend to believe that (in RL) BRU-55 with Jdams are not compatible with the software version of the modeled SMS STORES page that we have...

Have this, too. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3498083

Ok, but I got that impression from the backlog of forum bug reports that are not yet listed in the bug tracker ... and generally the amount of Harrier bugs listed there. It almost looks as if the Harrier almost finished while the forums tell a different story.

That is good to hear - thank you! But work on the Harrier is paused atm? (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=256454)

No range information ... yeah, makes sense then. Thanks guys!

My HARMs go straight towards the target, i.e. they start descending right after about 1 second after leaving the rail, while still accellerating with active motor. This results in a max. range of about 25 nm when fired from 25.000 ft. Isn't this a bit ineffective ... or is it realistic?

I mean the development of the Harrier - it's stalling again? Many bug reports for the M2000 were put into the bug tracker during the last weeks/months - which is really appreciated. But in the same time, many bugs were reported here on the forums (similar in numbers as for the Mirage), but none of them (+/- 1 or 2) where seemingly investigated or even put into the bug tracker. Can Razbam please clarify on when the focus is planned to be shifted back to the Harrier again?

Iirc, I was on the JDAM page for the first weapon - just to make sure the designation would work and coordinates were actually transfered. For the second drop, I changed it to TOO at the STORES page, as that was the page the system returned to after dropping the first bomb.

This, unfortunately, does not help in my case In his video, once the first JDAM is set to TOO mode, all weapons are set to TOO mode automatically when they are dropped subsequentially. But when I tried it, I had to set each bomb individually to TOO mode before designating and releasing them. ED has changed the behaviour here, it seems.

I know this, but as I already explained, this is very cumbersome and errorprone imo. I would have to set the QTY just to prepare the Mode=TOO, and then have to undo the QTY setting again because I want to release the bombs individually. What I am looking for is if I am missing an more obvious or more intuitive way to do this.

Today I tried to drop several (i.e. two) JDAMs at different TOO targets. After selecting the weapon, I changed the default Mode=PP to Mode=TOO, designate a target and drop the bomb successfully. After that, I repeated the same procedure for the second JDAM. But this was somewhat hectic though, as the two targets were close together and I could not prepare the 2nd bomb beforehand to Mode=TOO as there is no STEP option anymore at the STORES page. I could have prepared all weapons beforehand by setting the QTY, STEP through them all and set each to Mode=TOO and then not to forget to reset QTY again because I don't want to drop them all at once. This seems cumbersome/errorprone and not really practical. Or am I am missing something here (besides actually missing the STEP option at the STORES page? ;-) edit: fixed paragraph misformatting that the forum software STILL insists to do ...

I think, the WE only actively steers if it has a lock. Otherwise it is either just going balistic or it is still trying to steer to the last locked target ... I'm not yet sure of which variant is actually true, though.

Maybe you mixed that up with the Sniper Pod of the F-16? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=255676

The DL pod seems to work only if it is already active when the weapon is released. If I switch on the pod after the weapon was released, I get only static - although the channel setting is correct. Is that supposed to be that way? Why can't the DL pod establish a connection only before the release of the weapon and not afterwards?

Please clarify what you think the problem is. Why do you think, DCS is not reading from the Saved Games folder - how does that manifests itself as a problem?

I had this as well. I suspect, it has to do with "unlimited ammo=on" that I was using. Loaded with 2 AGM62 (+ DL pod, which I did not use), the first AGM62 did work as expected. Bomb released, stores page STEPped to the other pylon. Did not do anything with the 2nd bomb, but waited for the automatic rearming to happen. Then tried to use the 2nd, still boxed bomb, but no video was shown. Then pressed STEP to get back to the first pylon. There was video feed available, but from the original target area of the first bomb drop (already miles behind me at that moment). After uncaging, I could slew the seeker for, maybe half a screen, then CTD happened. No track available due hard CTD and the DCS.log also ends way before the issue showed up. My guess: something goes wrong with the initialization of the autmatic rearmed weapons (maybe in conjunction with the fact, that the priority station has changed to the 2nd pylon?). edit: I found a Win MiniDump file of the crash in C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\CrashDumps and attached it here - hope that helps.

The web site is about NVA / East German Army aviation - what they did, how they trained, how live was for them, the aircraft, the technology, etc.

I can't set the HUD to AG mode... PIP HOTAS / Special Modes ... how is this called exactly in the Controls Setup? There are three button bindings called "WeaponSystems...soandso" at the bottom of the HOTAS category, but they seem not to do what is described above? They somehow only alter the radar display, even if I selected AG ordnance at the PCA before + CNM neutral before. What am I doing wrong?

fwiw (originally from 2014): @mods: can we move this to the bugs sub-forum? ty!
